How would you restructure the buyers broker commission?

What way could the payment from a potential buyer to a broker be restructured so that the broker actually had the buyer's interests in mind? Currently, the incentive is to get the deal done at the higher price for the higher commission. If you changed to a flat fee on sale, you'd still have an incentive to get the deal done. If you paid on a month-by-month basis, you'd have an incentive NOT to get the deal done. So is there any way you could restructure it so that the broker and the buyer's interests were aligned?
